below the photo of the very handsome Chris Pratt , are links to 2 songs that make me happy overtime I hear them .

not only do these songs I have shared bring happy feelings , they also put us in a certain mood that goes along with those feelings . the smell of popcorn and the taste of blue raspberry slushy is what comes to mine when I hear "Mr. Blue Sky" by E.L.O .

it used to remind me of summers when I was a kid , now the attachment has changed , the song now is connected to my Children and the Movie "Guardians of the galaxy"and the happy feelings I once had about my childhood have been Redeposited into a new GREAT feeling . of watching a movie with my kids at the theatre , but it goes even further that the main character in the movie searches for his Dad and his own identity, with songs from you guessed it , the 70's and his own childhood. Hollywood cashes in on these HAPPY feelings , and you and I can learn a whole lot from this type of therapy.

through the lonely years of living somewhere for 2 years tops , the one thing I could depend on and rely on everywhere and anytime , was my soundtracks to my memories. with my 20th wedding anniversary coming up in a month , I thought i would start collecting all the fantastic songs that were played over those years that meant something to our family , and boy there are many , and the memories are crisp and vibrant in our minds eye...

so much happiness can be made to order and that is what I am trying to educate more people around me to do, n this most amazing super easy , you can do it , come on... you know you can ,
